Caramel Shards ( enough for 24 blondies)

These shards are needed for Butterscotch Blondies but you can add them to brownies or other cakes and biscuits as you choose. Any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. The recipe is from ” The Violet Bakery Cookbook” by Claire Ptak.

Blackberry Crumble Tart (6-8)

An easy tart to make when you have wild blackberries to use. As well as having several bushes on my allotment ( not welcomed by the plot rep) I love foraging for these on my walks around the green spaces of Bristol. The recipe is from ” The Violet Bakery Cookbook” by Claire Ptak. Anything left over can be eaten cold the next day.

Sour Cream, Chive and Feta Scones (12)

Delicious savoury scones to serve on their own or alongside soups or salad.They are best eaten on the day they are made, but you can make the dough and freeze the scones individually for up to a month if you like. The recipe is from ” The Violet Bakery Cookbook” by Claire Ptak.

Glogg (8)

A very good version of this Scandinavian style mulled wine from ” Roast Figs Sugar Snow” by Diana Henry. Just what we need for this cold weather hitting us in the UK at the moment.

Apple and Rosemary Cake (8)

We have harvested most of the apples in our local community orchard and will be sharing the bounty amongst our members shortly. This sweet and aromatic cake is from ” Apple” by James Rich who, together with his family, has a long history of growing apples in Somerset,
